The mission The mission of Cirque du Soleil is to invoke the imagination, provoke the senses and evoke the emotions of people around the world. The Creation of Cirque du Soleil It all started in Baie-Saint-Paul, a small town near Québec City in Canada. There, in the early eighties, a band of colourful characters roamed the streets, striding on stilts, juggling, dancing, breathing fire, and playing music. They were Les Échassiers de Baie-Saint-Paul (the Baie-Saint- Paul Stiltwalkers), a street theatre group founded by Gilles Ste-Croix. Already, the townsfolk were impressed and intrigued by the young performers – including Guy Laliberté who founded Cirque du Soleil. The troupe went on to found Le Club des talons hauts (the High Heels Club), and then, in 1982, organized La Fête foraine de Baie-Saint-Paul, a cultural event in which street performers from all over met to exchange ideas and enliven the streets of the town for a few days. La Fête foraine was repeated in 1983 and 1984.

Le Club des talons hauts attracted notice, and Guy Laliberté, Gilles Ste-Croix and their cronies began to cherish a crazy dream: to create a Québec circus and take the troupe travelling around the world. In 1984, Québec City was celebrating the 450th anniversary of Canada’s discovery by Jacques Cartier, and they needed a show that would carry the festivities out across the province. Guy Laliberté presented a proposal for a show called Cirque du Soleil (Circus of the Sun), and succeeded in convincing the organizers. And Cirque du Soleil hasn’t stopped since! A Few Statistics In 1984, 73 people worked for Cirque du Soleil. Today, the company hires close to 4,000 employees worldwide, including 1,300 artists. At the Montreal International Headquarters alone, there are close to 1,500 employees. More than 100 types of occupations can be found at Cirque. The company’s employees and artists represent more than 50 nationalities and speak 25 different languages.

More than 155 million spectators have seen a Cirque du Soleil show since 1984. Close to 15 million have seen a Cirque du Soleil show in 2014. Cirque du Soleil hasn’t received any grants from the public or private sectors since 1992. Cirque du Soleil’s Areas of Activity In 2015, Cirque du Soleil will present simultaneously some 19 different shows around the world. The heart of Cirque du Soleil’s activity remains creating live shows and presenting them under big tops, in theatres or arenas. Since 1984 close to 200 creators from the four corners of the globe have contributed their talents to this end.

In 2014, in the context of an on-going strategy of diversifying its content and live-entertainment activities worldwide, Cirque du Soleil has created some 10 subsidiaries among which: 45 DEGREES 45 DEGREES creates and produces custom-made experiential content bringing the unique expertise and creativity of Cirque du Soleil to discerning clients who are seeking high-end creative services and branded entertainment for corporate,￼public and private events and special projects.

Cirque du Soleil sold to U.S private equity firm | Toronto Star Business Cirque du Soleil sold to U.S private equity firm Cirque de Soleil has signed a deal to sell a majority stake in the famed circus group to U.S. private equity firm TPG ▶ Cirque du Soleil president Daniel Lamarre says as new owners TPG continue to grow the circus, more jobs will be created. Founder Guy Laliberte says he sold the Cirque to the U.S. private equity firm to spend more time with his kids.(reporter: Peter Ray; producer: Dane Coote) By Dana Flavelle Economy Mon., April 20, 2015 Cirque du Soleil has been sold to a U.S. private equity firm with interests in casinos and retailers in a deal aimed at moving the entertainment company beyond the big tent. The Quebec-based entertainment giant confirmed Monday that it had sold a majority stake to TPG. The value of the deal was not disclosed. Some reports have put it at $1.5 billion (U.S.).

The deal also brings in Fosun Group, a Chinese investment group often compared to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathway, and Quebec’s pension fund manager, le Caisse de depot et placement, as minority stakeholders. The new owners say they plan to expand Cirque’s presence in China. They also want to do more third-party licensing deals, digital media and ticket sales. TPG says its experience building brands like J. Crew and Neiman Marcus, along with its strong media and entertainment relationships will provide Cirque with new revenue opportunities.

Cirque de Soleil has signed a deal to sell a majority stake in the famed circus group to U.S. private equity firm TPG. (John Minchillo / ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO) Laliberté, a former street performer who co-founded Cirque, will retain a stake in the business and continue to provide strategic and creative input.

“After 30 years building the Cirque du Soleil brand, we have now found the right partners in TPG, Fosun and the Caisse to take Cirque du Soleil forward to the next stage in its evolution as a company founded on the conviction that the arts and business, together, can contribute to making a better world,” Laliberté said in a statement Monday. Cirque du Soleil has in recent years been developing other businesses based on its live shows, including a theme park in Mexico with Grupo Vidanta, resort activities for Club Med, licensing deals with fashion brands like Desigual, and digital media with BCE Inc.. Cirque’s global headquarters, which employs 1,400 of Cirque’s 4,000 people, will remain in Montreal, assuaging politicians’ concerns about losing a cultural icon. Caisse de dépôt CEO Michael Sabia said it is partnering with Cirque as it seeks to conquer new markets. “We are pleased that this new era of growth will be directed from Montreal, the Cirque’s decision-making and creative centre, under the direction of Daniel Lamarre as CEO,” he said in a statement.

The agreement will also see Quebec businessman Mitch Garber become chairman of the company. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter. Founded in 1984, Cirque du Soleil has grown from a small group of Montreal street performers into one of the world’s biggest entertainment companies, with 18 shows currently in performance, including The Beatles Love and Michael Jackson One. The shows combine modern rock concert sound and lighting techniques with traditional circus acts, minus the animals. Since its inception, Cirque has played to almost 160 million spectators in more than 330 cities in some 48 countries. The company has been seeking to reinvent itself since encountering financial troubles despite its enormous popular appeal and creative success. In January 2013, the company announced 600 layoffs following a disastrous 18-month period where four major shows closed around the world, in Tokyo, Macau, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Cirque du Soleil has brought wonder and delight to more than 155 million spectators in more than 300 cities in over forty countries on six continents. Download International Headquarters Cirque du Soleil’s International Headquarters (IHQ), located in Montreal, is the unique world- class creative laboratory where creators from all disciplines and hailing from the four corners of the world gather to collaborate on various creative projects. Because of its role as a catalyst in bringing talent together, Cirque du Soleil is able to continually renew itself. General information The IHQ is located in Montreal’s Saint-Michel district, (one of the most sensitive neighbourhoods in Canada), adjacent to the former Miron quarry and the Montreal waste sorting and disposal centre.

Construction of the IHQ was part of a major urban development project, the Saint-Michel Environmental Complex, in which Cirque du Soleil represents the cultural pole. INSIDE THE IHQ – THE CREATION STUDIO Since 1997, all Cirque du Soleil shows have been created at the international headquarters also called the Creation Studio. The Studio is a full-fledged creation, innovation and training laboratory which provides a great deal of flexibility to the creative teams working on various Cirque projects. Artists training Upon being hired by Cirque du Soleil, performers come to the Studio at the International Headquarters in Montreal for a few weeks or months of preliminary training before joining a show. The majority of the artists undergo artistic and acrobatic training while at the Creation Studio. Performers come from a variety of backgrounds, including artistic and acrobatic gymnastics, tumbling, acrosport, swimming, diving, dance, singing, music and, of course, circus arts. Some fifty nationalities are represented among Cirque du Soleil artists. To supervise performer training programs, the Studio employs close to one hundred trainers from around the world. These trainers specialize in such fields as dance, theatre, singing, and acrobatics.

In addition to these coaches and trainers, an interdisciplinary team of highly qualified specialists is made available to each artist, ensuring his physical and psychological well-being. The presence of these experts helps create a controlled and safe environment. The training rooms In addition to a physical fitness training room, the Studio houses various acrobatic and artistic training rooms to address the various training needs of the artists. Three acrobatic training studios: Studio A/B: a 1,425m2 acrobatic training studio that is 23m high. The room is equipped with a technical “trampoline” 18 m above the ground from which acrobatic and technical equipment can be safely hung. The trampoline is made of 38 km of woven metal cabling; Studio C: a 720m2 acrobatic training studio that’s also 23m high, adjacent to the first room; Studio E: a 785m2 acrobatic training studio containing a pit filled with 25,000 Styrofoam cubes (instead of a traditional net), a trampoline and a fast track.

One artistic training studio: Studio D: a 361m2 dance studio divided into four small all-purpose rooms; INSIDE THE IHQ – THE ATELIERS Costumes and their props needed for the various Cirque du Soleil shows are created in Montreal, in the production workshops (ateliers) at IHQ. Specialists of every description (including master shoemakers, milliners, textile experts, sewers, lace makers, carpenters, etc.) devote their painstaking labour to making all of the items needed for the shows. The second IHQ building, called the Workshops, was inaugurated in early 2001. In addition to office space, it houses the production workshops: a large costume shop that includes sewing and fitting rooms as well as space for shoemaking, hat making, textile design and a workshop for costume props and special effects. Approximately 300 artisans are employed in the workshops making some 16,000 or so items (hats, shoes, dresses, bodysuits, etc.) required for Cirque’s shows.

It takes close to 50 kilometres of fabric just to make the costumes, 80% of it is processed and dyed right in the shop by the textile design team. ￼￼￼￼ INSIDE THE IHQ – LE MÂT In 2007, Cirque du Soleil added a third wing to its international headquarters, to quell a pressing need for more administrative space. The expansion, dubbed Le Mât (the mast), houses eight floors of uniquely-designed office spaces and relaxation areas conducive to inspiration. The building is equipped with a rainwater collection system, which will recover enough water for one part of the complex to function independently. THE LANDSCAPING The landscaping at IHQ is highly original. Constantly in motion with seasons, the look of the vegetables garden and other gardens evolve just like the company. In addition to shrubs, apple trees and rosebushes, the gardeners also sowed a vegetable garden in front of the building, complete with various vegetables and herbs. Of course the harvest goes to prepare meals at the cafeteria, and any surplus is given to staff.

ARTISTS RESIDENCE Since the summer of 2003, Cirque du Soleil’s International Headquarters complex has included a residence to house artists who are in Montreal for short periods for their acrobatic and artistic training. The building was designed as part of the development of “TOHU,” the circus arts complex in which Cirque du Soleil is a partner. TOHU TOHU is the name of the circus arts complex and the non-profit organization behind it. The organization was created in November 1999 through the initiative of En Piste (the umbrella organization for circus arts professionals, organizations, and institutions in Quebec), Montreal’s International Circus School, and Cirque du Soleil. TOHU’s main mission is to make Montreal an international circus arts capital, but the organization has broadened its mission over time to include environmental and community components: to actively participate in the revitalization of the Saint-Michel Environmental Complex (the second largest urban landfill site in North America) and to contribute to the cultural, social and economic development of the Saint-Michel neighborhood in Montreal. More than 15 years after the organization was created, a true “circus arts village” took shape around the perimeter of the Saint-Michel Environmental Complex.

TOHU has become one of the world’s foremost hubs for circus arts training, creation, production, and performance. TOHU is sure to make its mark, both for its infrastructure and for its international profile. About Cirque du Soleil international headquarters: Architects: Dan S.

Architect Cirque Éloize's Hip-Hop Streetfight Circus Comes To Connecticut - Hartford Courant Entertainment Arts & Theater Cirque Éloize's Hip-Hop Streetfight Circus Comes To Connecticut Cirque Éloize was founded in Montreal in 1993, over a decade after Cirque du Soleil. Its shows are purposefully polished and neatly paced, but modern in their thinking. They have storylines and characters. One of the most popular works in the current Cirque Éloize repertoire, "iD," comes to the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard for a month-long run Aug. 1-30. Read more here.

CHRISTOPHER ARNOTTSpecial to The Courant Canadian new circus troupe Cirque Éloize jumps through walls at Foxwoods Why is Connecticut so circus-savvy? Well, there's the legacy of Bridgeport icon P.T. Barnum and his "Greatest Show on Earth" bombast. Traditional three-ring circuses continue to visit the state regularly. But it also helps that we're just a hop skip and a flying triple-flip leap from Montreal. Montreal is circus central. It's the home of the National Circus School, whose graduates are snapped up by the dozens of professional companies that have fostered a major circus entertainment industry in Canada. Montreal's the city where Cirque du Soleil began, and where that renowned company still has its international headquarters. There's now a second generation of "Cirque Nouveau" or "Contemporary Circus" acts, some of whom have set themselves up as aesthetic alternatives to Cirque du Soleil's slick, polished, high-tech and design-rich concoctions. Some of these younger troupes perform in street clothes and act streetsmart. They base shows around such concepts as post-apocalyptic ruin, mortality and computer technology.

Cirque Éloize was founded in Montreal in 1993, over a decade after Cirque du Soleil and years before such acrobatic upstarts as Les 7 doigts de la main. The company seems to be neatly in the center of the New Circus maelstrom. Its shows are purposefully polished and neatly paced, but modern in their thinking. They have storylines and characters. One of the most popular works in the current Cirque Éloize repertoire, "iD," comes to the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard for a monthlong run Aug. 1 to 30. "iD" has been touring internationally since 2009 and has played over 800 performances in nearly 90 cities in over two dozen countries, according to Maxime Charbonneau, Cirque Éloize's director of business development and communications. Cirque Eloize iD Theatre T & Cie, Valerie Remise Theatre T & Cie, Valerie Remise While some places in the U.S. are only starting to appreciate New Circus acts, Connecticut has been attuned to the form for decades.

Cirque du Soleil has set up tents in Hartford several times, and its stadium tour has played Bridgeport. New Haven's International Festival of Arts & Ideas has been a major New Circus booster for the fest's entire 20-year history, welcoming everyone from the French troupe Cirque Baroque (who created circus events out of literary works by Voltaire and Mishima) in the 1990s to Montreal's Les 7 doigts de la main (with their signature piece "Traces" as well as the later work "Sequence 8") and this year's attraction, Machine du Cirque. Arts & Ideas' programming poobahs scout the latest circus sensations at Montreal's annual Completement Cirque festival, where cutting-edge circus shows can be found in theaters, dance clubs, city parks and other venues for 10 intense days every July. This is Cirque Éloize's first time at Foxwoods — a relationship that both sides hope will turn into regular visits (perhaps biannually) in the future — but the troupe has visited Connecticut before, including shows in New Haven in 1999 and 2003 and Hartford in 2002.

Being able to settle down at one venue for a month (three dozen performances) is a real boon for Cirque Éloize, which does a lot of one-week bookings elsewhere. Cirque Éloize has a major reputation in the Cirque Nouveau realm. In 2003, the company organized the first major circus arts festival in North America. It also runs a foundation that helps "underprivileged youth through an introduction to circus arts." Cirque Éloize shows have played major international theater festivals, not just circus festivals; when the show "Typo" played New York, it was nominated for three Drama Desk Awards. One of Cirque Éloize's co-founders, Daniel Cyr, created the Cyr Wheel — the large metal hoop that has become standard apparatus for New Circus performers. Another name associated with Cirque Éloize's illustrious history is Daniel Finzi Pasca, who directed such acclaimed shows as "Nebbia" and "Rain." Pasca started his own troupe, Compagnia Finzi Pasca, which creates not just circus shows but theater pieces and operas.

"iD," which kicked off a new post-Finzi Pasca era, is directed by Cirque Éloize co-founder Jeannot Painchaud. The show won the Grand Prix award at the Conseil des Arts de Montreal in 2010. Painchaud, who as a performer won a prestigious award from France's Festival Mondial du Cirque de demain for his trick-bicycle skills, is known for melding acrobatic routines with other live performance disciplines, such as music, theater and dance. "iD" is infused with original hip-hop music and freshly choreographed breakdances. It takes the form of a streetfight between rival gangs. "It's cool. It's hip," says Charbonneau. "It's full of energy, with two gangs battling each other. It has a story, with a plot. It's about these characters trying to find their place in this world." The score was composed by producer/percussionist Jean-Phi Goncalves and keyboardist Alex McMahon of the Montreal electronica/rock/jazz trio Plaster.

As for the circus stunts, "iD" features a "trampolwall" bit, in which acrobats jump from a trampoline onto a nearby wall, disappearing through holes in the structure. There's also an intricate rope-skipping routine, juggling, pole-climbing, trick cycling, aerial acts and a contortionist who contorts to B-Boy break beats. "Some of our shows are more poetic, theatrical," Charbonneau suggests, noting that another currently touring Cirque Éloize show, "Cirkopolis," is "more dramatic" and a touch darker than "iD." "This one is full of energy. We take these shows very seriously, but we are also going to have fun." Which sums up the New Circus movement nicely. These shows have modern themes, emotions and attitudes you recognize from real life. But they're also fantastical feats of balance, daring and discipline, flights of fancy that will have you gasping in awe. Cirque Éloize enlightens, elevates, and jumps through walls.

Presenting their latest touring show titled Kurios: Cabinet of Curiosities, Cirque du Soleil once again brings forth incredible creativity that tackles some very intriguing subject matters.
